This is to be a huge event and the biggest in Queensland, yet! If you're serious about supporting MMA in Australia and can get to the event DO IT!

I seem to have a knack for missing MMA events held in Sydney, its a fucking curse. Everytime I look it seems as though nothing is planned, I'll book something else with the missus or something (earlier this year I booked tickets to see the Shaolin performing monks, spent a shitload then the next day I saw the CFC advertising for the same night) and BAM, the CFC or another promotion will schedule an event for that day. Their last one I noticed a sign on my way back from the airport after the recent holiday. Fucking thing was the next day, schedule clash with a mates wedding. Would've ditched the wedding, too, if I wasn't a groomsman.

I just wish they'd be able to give better notice.

Found this in the paper today, no wonder there is so much fear in Australia about governmental "endorsement" of MMA:

i trained at a club whose members later merged with the advance people, but i moved away to sydney a couple of months before that happened. i do know a few of the other advance guys who were already there. also know matt cooper as an acquaintance. and shane balmer who ran the warriors realm shows.

I have my birthday dinner on that night :(, should be an awesome show.
